Be able to run Github checker standalone about reviewdog HOT 5 CLOSED

@JensRantil I'm working on PoC related to use Checks feature with the previous reported approach, I'm going also to investigate if the specified approach do not break any GH policy (we are going to use GH Application to build a "out-of-standard" app 😄)

Same here, @haya14busa do you consider to release doghouse as FOSS app?

Alternatively we can move all required settings into reviewdog itself, it need only 3 parameters in order to work:

• PEM key
• Application ID
• Installation ID

Maybe setup can be a bit more complex, but IMHO acceptable, what do you think?

Thanks for the comments.

yes, that's a concern. Maybe it's good to support standalone checker but wondering is it really ok or not.
For example, I may register reviewdog GitHub apps to GitHub market place or https://github.com/works-with, and we should check the policy.

@mavimo I think your proposal is the way to go. It's similar to the way bors-ng recommends doing it and has worked for us when we've set that application up ourselves.

Now reviewdog can report via Check API if it's running on GitHub Actions. https://medium.com/@haya14busa/automated-code-review-on-github-actions-with-reviewdog-for-any-languages-tools-20285e04448e
